Meanwhile, In Charlotte…

Here’s a shot of the “protest” going on outside of Ben Bernanke’s speech earlier today. Maybe it was the 70 degree, beautiful weather, maybe it was the lack of a literal and not merely figurative Wall Street to march on, maybe it was the fact that the Beard has put himself out there of late as someone who doesn’t take shit or prisoners but I just don’t feel the same passion. No Fed Guy can’t even be bothered to put down the fountain beverage and put his back into it.

    I should have moved all my money into the pitchfork, posterboard and stick business.

    What a bunch of rednecks. The average resident has nothing better to do than watch Fox News and go to Nascar events.

    @3 – obviously you’re misinformed. They protest too.

    Somewhat off topic, but thought I’d share. Was this as protest against naked shorting? WTF.

    @3: I think the word you were looking for is “liberals,” not rednecks.

    Wait, Bernanke gave a speech at Champ(ions)? Appears to be a sports bar, at least from my previous experience with such establishments…

    protestors are generally a waste of space…. however these guys actually have a point. the fed’s monetary policy created this whole mess and now they are making it worse. FACT: the fed is a private bank. we should probably look into this.
